Important: Before you update...
_______________________________


DISABLE YOUR CURRENT VERSION OF POCKETWATCH+ BEFORE UPDATING. If you
don't do this it will either not install or your handheld will crash
with a Fatal Exception. The behavior depends on the system extension
manager you are using.

- New PDF documentation instead of HTML

- PocketWatch+ doesn't dismiss when backlight gets turned on and
  Auto-Off works now also with OS 3.0/3.1.


Before using PocketWatch+
_________________________

PocketWatch+ is a HackMaster extension and all the precautions usually
recommended when installing a hack should be considered to protect
yourself against potential data loss:

- First synchronise and backup your handheld (use a backup program
  like BackupBuddy or the freeware BackupAll)!

- Make sure that you are using the latest version.

- Check the 'Known Issues and Incompatibilities' section below.

- If you experience problems it is the best to disable all hacks,
  enable PocketWatch+, test it and then enable the rest one by one.
